Newt Gingrich is now under fire from basically all sides, with Rick Santorum being the one exception.

Michele Bachmann is calling Gingrich and Mitt Romney "Newt Romney." Ron Paul has slammed him as a flip-flopper, saying, "There's been many positions and you have admitted many of hte positions" where he's changed.

Gingrich replied, "I was never a spokesman for any agency, I never did any lobbying for any agency. I was in the private sector," he said, smiling and laughing.

Romney interjected, "K Street isn't the private sector."

Bachmann then went on to slam "Newt Romney," described Gingrich as a lobbyist.

"Michele, a lot of what you say just isn't true, period," he said.

With Bachmann, we saw the first sign of his smile cracking, and he started getting testy, listing his 13 bestsellers.

Bachmann also referred to Gingrich as working on the "Rodeo Drive" of Washington, a clear smack at the Tiffany's scandal and a taste for high-life.
